Ricky Gervais plots Emmy revenge
Wednesday, August 13th, 2008 | 9 commentsWe now interrupt today’s kidnapping vigil with this article from the L.A. Times’ The Envelope:
When Ricky Gervais wasn’t present at last year’s Emmys to accept his upset victory for best comedy actor (”Extras”), Steve Carell leapt to the stage and claimed the statuette on behalf of the man who trailblazed his role on the original “The Office” … if Carell wins best comedy actor for the U.S. version of “The Office” on Sept. 21, “I’m going to beat him to the stage just to even things up,” Ricky Gervais says. “I’m going to wrestle him to the ground and get his Emmy before he can.”
